 And you got  no  reply.
 (Just like the first)
 Hey you,.....where  did you  come from?
 Got a head  full of  lead, you're a inbred  bastard  son.
 All dressed up,.......red  blood in a mannequin.
 Do or die,  no reply,  don't deny  that you're  synthetic.
 You're pathetic.
 You have a growth that must be treated,
 Like  a severed severe pain in the neck.
 You  can smell it but you can't see it.
 No  explanation identified
 
'cause yo-o-o-o-o-o-o-u don't know.

 (Okay, now, here comes the hard part. This is another rhytym you are going to have
 to listen to thew track to get exactly right, but it's still not that hard
 when you get the hang of it)
 (Clean)
 I see you,.......down  on the front  line.
 Such a sight  for sore  eyes, you're a suicide  makeover.
